The two Cincinnati Pizzeria Locale locations are closing, according to media reports.

The Chipotle-backed pizza chain at its peak operated seven restaurants, which will now be slashed to two. The news comes after Chipotle's investor call on Wednesday.

Chipotle announced Wednesday that it plans to close 55 to 65 underperforming locations. Most will close within the next month.

"Closures include five of the seven remaining locations of Pizzeria Locale, Chipotle's fast-casual pizza chain. Two Pizzeria Locale locations in Denver, Colorado will remain open," Business Insider reported.
